Influence of transient variations of the refractive index on the operation of a laser interferometer with a wavefront-reversing mirror

G. A. Pasmanik, E. A. Khazanov


Abstract: An optical interferometer with a wavefront-reversing mirror is considered. This mirror contains a layer with a time-dependent refractive index. The dependence of the phase shift of the beams returning to the input of the interferometer on the rate of change of the refractive index is determined.
